London - A police officer in Britain at the centre of a row over the death of an innocent man during last week's G20 protests in London has come forward, Scotland Yard said Wednesday.

The development came amid a growing furore over amateur video footage published by the Guardian newspaper Wednesday which showed a police officer hitting the man before "shoving" him to the ground on the fringes of the protests on April 1.

Ian Tomlinson, a 47-year-old newspaper seller, died from a heart attack minutes later.

London  - British police said Wednesday that 10 men had been arrested on suspicion of having links with the al-Qaeda terrorist network in a series of raids across the north-west of England, including the cities of Manchester and Liverpool.

The swoop was believed to have been brought forward due to a security blunder, after Britain's most senior counter-terrorism chief, Bob Quick, was filmed clutching highly sensitive documents as he arrived in Downing Street to brief the government.

Hong Kong  - The family of a homeless Nepalese man shot dead by a Hong Kong police officer has demanded an independent inquiry into the death, claiming police misled the public, media reports said Wednesday.

Hong Kong-born Dil Bahadur Limbu was shot once in the head by a lone officer responding to a complaint call on March 17.

Police say Limbu, 31, was armed with a wooden chair and refused to stop attacking the officer despite repeated warnings.

Washington, Apr 8: Does love at first sight actually happen? Well, scientists say that the answer to this ever-existing query lies in geneticists.

In a study on fruit flies, American and Australian researchers have discovered that some males and females are more compatible than others at the genetic level.

In their opinion, this compatibility plays an important role in mate selection, mating outcomes, and future reproductive behaviours.
